    Sitting here by myself and blushing like crazy. Thank you so much for having this contest! It was the motivator I needed to share something I’d written with my friends and family. Hopefully it’s a step in the right direction regarding extreme shyness about what I write and what people will think of me when I post it.

    Thanks for all your effort! (And on an unrelated note, thanks for keeping track of all the weird publishing stuff going on. I almost never comment but I always read. :) )

      Always glad to give writers a little boost if I can. And thanks for letting me know you follow all that publishing stuff. Nice to know others find it helpful. Congrats to you, and keep writing!

      I know exactly how you feel. It’s been YEARS since I shared anything I wrote with even my family members, so entering this contest was a huge boost in the right direction. Congrats!
